Environmental Claims

Environmental claims in South Florida involve the application of Federal, State, and Municipal laws. These laws make up a comprehensive umbrella under which everything from improper waste discharge, destruction of sea grass and/or coral marine life, as well as, oily water or fuel discharges are governed. On an annual basis the Ft. Lauderdale Mariner’s Club (“FLMC”) sponsors a seminar for marine industry professionals and underwriters. In recent years, this seminar draws nearly 500 attendees. As a part of the Seminar, the FLMC selects recognized leaders in the marine legal community to speak and present papers. On this very topic, Keith S. Brais and Richard D. Rusak presented – Plowing Your Way Into Environmental Liabilities in South Florida in 2006. The paper discusses at length the legal umbrella under which such claims must be analyzed.
